A calendar slide includes a hanger that is secured to the slide during the
tinning or crimping process in which the slide is secured to the
calendar. The hanger has a hole for hanging the calendar or other work
piece tinned with the slide and hanger. Advantageously, according to this
invention, the hanger does not need to be riveted or staked to the slide
for secure attachment. The slide may include at least one through slot
into which a leading edge of a roll of hanger material is inserted. The
leading portion of the hanger material is severed or cut from the
remainder of the roll while it is positioned in the hanger. An edge of
the calendar or work piece is inserted between the spaced legs of the
slide and initially crimped between the spaced legs. The hanger is
severed from the roll either prior to the initially crimping operation,
during the initial crimping operation or immediately there after. The
crimping of the slide onto the edge of the calendar or work piece
securely positions the hanger to the slide and calendar prior to the
completion of the tinning process.
